~Sis Came To See Me~ :-)

After I logged off yesterday just as I was getting ready to

move on to my bed, there was a knock on the door and it

was my sister and Stanley ... She brought me 3 new skirts!

They had them on sale at Wal Mart..and they are so pretty!

She is so good to me.. We had a nice visit.. Stanley said he

is going to start taking piano lessons..Shirley got him a key

board for Christmas, and he wants to learn to play.. He has

a natural gift for music.. He taught himself the guitar, the

harmonica, banjo, and now he wants to play piano.. He has

a special holder for his harmonica..so he can play it and his

guitar at the same time.. He goes to nursing homes and to

church functions and plays for them.. He is very talented.
When they left here they were going to go for a nice ride over

by the lake and then stop and have dinner. They know lots of

good places to eat.. They have taken me out to dinner many

times.. They have a special steak place down in Ft.Wayne,

that is just wonderful..its over an hour ride here but well worth

it.. We went there one Saturday, my ex, David, and Shirley

and Stan.. We enjoyed a great dinner..and when we went to

leave and walked out side, It had SNOWED.. We climbed in

to the car and as we went down the road it steadily got worse

and worse..till it was almost a white out.. How Stanley could

see I have NO idea.. He knew the road I guess.. I was scared,

all I looked at was the floor of the car... Every time I did look

up all I saw was white.. My sis was in back with me and she

was doing the same thing.. We looked at each other and just

looked back down again.. By the time we got home Shirley

and I were both nervous wrecks.. Winter driving is so un

predictable.. Stan is a good driver really, he has scared me

many many times how he does things on the road..and he is

NOT a SLOW driver either.. He never gets a ticket tho. Why. I

have NO idea.. He scares me driving tho..we laugh about it..

When he got his pilots license he wanted to take me for a

ride in their plane.. I was nice and politely told him.. "Stanley,

I love you dearly, but you scare the hell out Of me on the road,

do you think I will get up in a plane with you?" I never took that

plane ride either.. :-)

It is raining to day and boy do I know it.. My stumps are behaving

badly today.. They woke up very unhappy..My right one this time..

She is just very mean to me ..shes achey and twitching..and

is sound asleep.. I have been wiggling and turning and trying to

find a good way to sit to shut her up and she wont listen :-) I know

its the rain.. Then after the rain is SNOW!.. I love winter.. I don't go

out in this stuff but it STILL affects me.. just seeps through the walls.

I got confirmation yesterday that I can get help with my heating bill..

and there is Still some left over if I need help again. That will be such

a relief..some thing less to worry about, and I sure need that. I didn't

hear from VP.. so hopefully I will on Monday.. I had to call my cable,

as my TV is just not coming in at all.. I am hoping its not my TV set,

its old.. and was damaged before I got it.. I hope that it is NOT that.

I have been hearing that we will have to replace the tvs we have that

soon they wont work or something... or get cable.. I hope that's not

so.. I don't want to have to get a new TV.. Between my cats..and

my computer..my TV is my only company.. I turn it on sometimes

just to listen.. I cant see it from my desk here but I hear it.. Its So quiet

in here all the time only sound is from my computer. Its nice to hear

talking.. I miss eating in front of my tv..was a good dinner companion..

cant take the place of a person but next best.. :-) The cable guy will be

here Wednesday, noon to 3. I was hoping today.. and I HOPE I wont

have to pay for a service call. that would be iccky...be nice to see all

the channels I want to watch.. I love the travel channel..:-)

Well im going to get out of this chair for today and go and work on the

baby afghan im knitting..its going to be so pretty. Im anxious to get it

done. If I work on it every night for a while wont take long.. I just have

to keep my hand off my clicker so I don't hit that eyes shut button :-)

gets me every time, so its time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE

"Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya, , and THANKS!!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again.....
